OKX, a leading global crypto exchange and Web3 technology company, today announced the launch of CeDeFi trading, a new feature that unifies centralized and decentralized market access within a single platform.
CeDeFi combines the performance and reliability of centralized infrastructure with the transparency and openness of decentralized networks. This development marks a significant step toward building a unified market architecture that allows users to manage all trading activity — both CEX and DEX — from one application.
Simplifying Access to Decentralized Trading
Previously, accessing decentralized markets often required multiple steps such as creating several wallets, managing native tokens for gas fees, and bridging assets across different blockchains. These processes added operational complexity for users.
The new OKX CeDeFi experience removes these challenges by offering a single, unified interface where users can manage both centralized and decentralized trades within the same portfolio view. With smart order routing across 100+ liquidity pools, the system automatically searches for the best available prices in real time.
This update is being rolled out globally to millions of OKX users, including key regions such as the United States, MENA, Southeast Asia, and the CIS.
Users can now explore DEX tokens in the OKX App by visiting the “Explore” page and selecting the “DEX” category or by searching directly through the app’s global search bar.
Key Features
- Multi-chain access: Trade millions of tokens across X Layer (available in regions outside of the US), Solana, and Base — from established assets to emerging projects.
- Early market access and transparency: Participate in early-stage decentralized markets before assets list on centralized exchanges, through a unified and verifiable infrastructure that ensures full on-chain transparency and user control.
- Unified trading experience: Manage centralized and decentralized markets in one app without switching interfaces.
- Best-price routing: Aggregates liquidity across 100+ pools to execute trades at the most competitive price.
- Effortless setup: Self-custody wallets are automatically created when DEX trading is activated. Users can secure them instantly with a passkey — no seed phrase required.
- Full control: Passkey-based self-custody wallets ensure users retain complete control over their digital assets.
Responsible Participation
OKX reminds users that decentralized markets may involve higher slippage, lower liquidity, and increased volatility compared to centralized exchanges. Traders are encouraged to perform their own research (DYOR) and use proper risk management.
